The RX 450h+ features a four-cylinder 2.5-litre hybrid engine and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with 18.1 kWh. An additional rear electric motor enables full-time all-wheel drive. The lithium battery delivers pure electric driving range of up to 40 miles*.
*Electric range figures are provided for comparability purposes, and can vary depending on factors such as selected grade and transmission, accessories fitted (post registration), driving style, weather conditions, speed or vehicle load. It is best to only compare electric range figures with other cars tested to the same technical procedures. These figures may not reflect your real life driving results.
The game-changing new RX 500h performance hybrid is the first-ever Lexus turbo-charged hybrid. With power delivered by a completely new hybrid architecture consisting of a 2.4 litre turbo engine and 6-speed automatic transmission, the RX 500h delivers 371 DIN hp* and 645 Nm of torque for responsive acceleration and superb dynamic handling thanks to DIRECT 4.
DIRECT 4 is an intelligent AWD system that constantly balances the power and torque between the front and rear axles in any driving situation, automatically and seamlessly shifting the drive force between the 2 axles in milliseconds- faster than any mechanical system.
